Airline Pilot Central Forums - Any "Latest & Greatest" about Delta?

They'd still have to park 70 seaters.....

I expect that scope would be reduced from the previously separate limits (my reps would be made VERY aware of my opinion), similar to what happened with the NW/DL merger.

In the end, even if another airline brought large "RJ" flying with them, the DL PWA still limits DL to a max of 255..... Something is gonna get parked!

ALWAYS remember the company can fly as many jets of any size that they want, the limit is how many don't have to be crewed with Delta Pilots. <---I hope guys are seeing this as the real issue!!! (Not that RJ's exist in the system, who cares what DAL wants to fly in it network, its about who crews the plane that matters!)

That would be the worst scenario. That would mean that they would be buying NEW, BIGGER RJs to replace the ones they are parking. I could stomach this a little more if they were merely converting the ones already on the peoperty, because they are getting older by the day... Still, I guess about the time I am retiring the contracts will be coming due so all you young punks won't have to worry about this stuff then..

Get off my lawn.

Yep this new reserve system is great

4 SC in a row then a crappy 3 day followed by another short call. At least I will be done after the next one. Haves and the have nots... was this the intent? Jr yes... I get that but was the idea to totally ruin any QOL for reserves? Yes I am forced to commute. what was ok before is now just a total pain in the ass! Just sayin!:mad::mad:

Seems the ATL 7ERB line holders figured out the benefits of reserve. Look how senior reserve went. There are a few that had in Europe or RSV. Line went really junior. Kind of like it was pre CH11.

Yep, was very surprised to find that I'm not on reserve next month. I'm normally several pages deep in the reserves.

Oh, regarding my last post, I'm in my 13th, not 14th year. Should have taken my shoes off to do the math.

It's absolutely hilarious that you were whining about never getting off reserve.... and then seeing this post. Amazing.
